Font size problem on Ubuntu 12.04 beta1 unstable using gnome-tweak-tools

Asked by Naimuddin Shek

I Installed gnome-tweak-tools.

I tried to change the font size from 10 to 11 .

The font size changed successfully but it was much bigger than a size 11 font should be.

Is it a bug or just a temporary problem ?
